Vermont Business Magazine The annual “Big Change Roundup for Kids” to support specialized care provided at The University of Vermont Children’s Hospital has changed a lot during this pandemic year – including adding contactless drive-thru collections. The three-month long coin collecting campaign is the largest annual fundraiser for the hospital, and is a joint project of the UVM Children’s Hospital and 98.9 WOKO-FM.
Although the Roundup has pivoted to virtual events and contactless collections to prevent the spread of COVID-19, one thing that hasn’t changed is the need for support of the hospital’s high-quality care of pediatric patients in Vermont and Northern New York.

Position sought: Village trustee Why are you running for this position? I’m running for trustee because I feel it’s long overdue that someone with a youthful voice and new vision runs for office. We need our younger voices to be heard, and by having one on the board could provide an alleyway for other young voices to want to become involved. What are your qualifications? Well, in all honesty, in terms of much of what typically “qualifies” someone for this, I don’t have much to speak of. However, I do feel as if my background in the community, whether it be volunteering at the Tri-Lakes Relay for Life, hosting a fundraiser for the University of Vermont Children’s Hospital or being a fourth generation graduate of Lake Placid High School, speaks for itself. I possess a new set of ideas, a fresh look and a new vision that our village could have.
